Can't upgrade Firefox--don't have "sufficient privileges"
Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade Firefox on my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.7 from 1.0.6 to 1.5.4... I download the .dmg, open it up, drag the Firefox icon to my Applications folder.
I get a pop up asking me if I want to replace the existing file. I say yes, replace.
Then I get the following message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
This is particularly bizarre since I have permission to administer my computer.
I've already tried "Repair Permissions"--no change.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Did you have Firefox running at the time you tried to replace it? That could easily prevent you from updating, as it may not permit you to overwrite or replace files that are in use. If that was the case, quit Firefox, then try replacing it with the new version.
Or, try renaming Firefox to Firefox 1.5.4 and putting it in your Applications folder. Then on your next reboot, you can move the old one to the Trash, drag it's icon off the Dock, and drag the icon for the new version to the Dock.

It won't let me upgrade to newest version of Firefox...it's telling me I don't have sufficient privileges for some of the items. Why?
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

I've tried to download the most current Firefox and it downloaded but I can't save it to my apps or use it due to this error message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." Not sure what to do now?Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

I opened a new window in Firefox, which was still open from last night. I saw the notice:
URGENT!
Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.
Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free!
So, I clicked on the download which ran fine. At step 3, drag the Firefox icon to the Applications icon, a pop up said I didn't have sufficient privileges to do that.
What does this mean and how do I fix it?! Thank you,
AllisonYou're welcome

i found that i couldn't open itunes on my home computer so the website suggested i uninstall and reinstall the program. i uninstalled it then tried to reinstall and an error box comes up that says to verify i have sufficient privileges to start system services. I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it so i can finish the installation process.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I have a MacBook operation system 10.5.8. I have been using Safari and wanted to upgrade to the Firefox 6 version. I do have an older version of Firefox in my applications folder which I agreed to "replace" when queried. But when I tried to put the version 6 to replace the older version, that's when I get the message about not having sufficient privileges to do that. Please help. Thanks.
It is better to download a new copy of the Firefox program from:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Are you running Time Machine? If so, good!. However, you can solve this problem by temporarily turning off Time Machine. After finalizing or Sharing the movie, be sure to turn Time Machine back on.

What do i have to do to get sufficent privileges?
Why does the title says "I get an error message when downloading Itunes" when you clearly do not? The issue has nothing to do with downloading but rather installing of iTunes which is a seperate step.
Maybe if a search is performed for the real issue then a resolution will be found. -
I recently brought an iPad 2 but it wouldn't connect to iTunes on my PC so I followed the help on here and uninstalled iTunes. But when I tried to reinstall it, it says that the Apple mobile device doesn't have enough suffient privileges. I've also tried to restart the Apple mobile device, but it comes with error 1053, saying that the service didn't respond in a timely fashion.
I am at a loss as to what to do, since I all of my music is on iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Check this Apple article out -> How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
